ALFA ROMEO 164 Rare
As of 2025 Q4, 364 ALFA ROMEO 164s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 431 in 2014 Q3 — only 84% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 67 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 5 a year (1.5% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2072 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 84% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
